Notes

Tokyo 2020, art poster created for the Olympic Games entitled “Space Kicker” by Shinro OHTAKE. Here, painter Shinro Ohtake has used random scraps of coloured paper to create an image with vivid sparkling colours and heavenly beings. “A pink figure appears out of nowhere. Without so much as a blink, the figure nonchalantly does kick-ups with a bright red ball. Is this the ‘god of the games’?” the artist wonders. Donated by the OCOG
